Hi,
I've set in Preferences >> Tools >> ReplayGain Scanner
Album grouping pattern, for "Scan as albums (by tags)":
%directoryname%
When in playlist I right-click menu ReplayGain >> Scan as albums (by tags) the album RG is calculated based on the directory the file is belonging to.
However, when using the converter on tens of files located in tens of different directories with in
Converter >> Other >> Marked "ReplayGain-scan output files as albums"
it calculates the album RG as if all converted files belong to a single album instead of distinguishing the directory names. So a single album RG value is calculated for all files instead of one album RG value for each directory.
I've tested this on foobar2000 1.6.7 and foobar 1.6.8 beta 6.
Thanks in advance.
I wouldn't expect %directoryname% to be considered as a "tag".
I could be wrong here but shouldn't you be using fields\tags from the "metadata" tab in the file properties to figure out a grouping?
Ignore my previous post, I read your post completely backwards.

This is a bit of annoying because I have to ReplayGain manually afterwards to get it right.
Sorry, works as intended for me.
Note that %directoryname% evaluates to the directory name of *converted* file, not the source file. If all your files are converted to one directory, they will be perceived as one album.

That's the key point! Indeed I had written all the converted files into a single folder. Some additional testing I just did confirmed the album RG is calculated per output folder.
Many thanks!
